OK, but, still, no bombing Sweden. When the light lasts all day, they hop into their boats and row across to Denmark to buy beer. No one should ever bomb Sweden.

THREAD MACHS FREI !
Is it the sabretooth times?
If for no other reason than that it will drive the trolls nuts...
Is there bad scifi tonight, Eli.
No, please. No bad cable movie MST3K takes, tonight. I will have to go, really.

As my mom always said, "Nighty, night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

Is there bad scifi tonight, Eli.
Attack Of The Sabretooth!
I can't imagine how this could possibly be bad.
Sasquatch now on SciFi (PDT). Starring Lance!
good evening, children.
Is it the sabretooth times?
Its been on for some time, this one is so bad, its just bad. Not worthy of attention.

But youse people keep me sane.
I think I mean that as a compliment.
More civil war discussions, quick!
Is it the David Keith Sabretooth or a new and improved Sabretooth?
Hey, I know that a lot of lawyer folk hit these threads, is there any way that Valerie Palme could sue Karl Rove in civil court for damages to her life and career? If so, I'd certainly be willing to pitch in on the legal fund if such were set up.
Is it the David Keith Sabretooth or a new and improved Sabretooth?

Well, the main one will survive, as will whoever he or she hooks up with. The rest are toast.
I think the Surly Goth Chick will be the sole survivor.
(of course, I pretty much *always* bet on surly goth chicks...)
...is there any way that Valerie Palme could sue Karl Rove in civil court for damages to her life and career?
From what I understand, yes. I believe Joe Wilson's already talked about that possibility.
Tucker carlson is getting his clock cleaned by his British guests, while he is doing his ghoul act in London.
Quite entertaining how he naively thought he could push people around, like he does the usual bobbleheaded American "experts".
Hehehe.

Now can we please get Brit Hume over there?
Bus driver, if you ever see Tucker in a crosswalk... just saying.
Fortunately, I am spared the sabretoothing by heading out in a bit to the first of a 2-night stand by TMBG. So don't let's start.
However, in spirit of B-moviedom, I will share that the inimitable Bruce Campbell is on a book/movie tour of the US (hits Denver on Monday) promoting his novel Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way and new film Man with the Screaming Brain (in which he is forced to share his cranium with the brain of an Eastern European spy). His is a chin not to be missed!
Tucker carlson is getting his clock cleaned by his British guests, while he is doing his ghoul act in London.

I doubt if Brit Hume would have the cojones to go to Britain after his little "climb the pile of corpses to the top of the financial heap" episode.

From the article linked to in Monkeyfister's post:
Jihad also said that the government has no intention to privatise the oil sector, but would remain under state control.
"We will seek foreign investments, that will allow us to develop our industry but without paving the way for foreign monopolies to take over," he said.
----------------------
Iraqi state control = U.S. control
Massive foreign investment = de facto private take over
[Bonus points for having an Iraqi oil minister named "Jihad."]

She's gorgeous. Let's just say that I think more than a few guys have lived just to keep on seeing her. You have to imagine not a black nurses uniform, but a white nurses uniform with the black corset showing through.

I think the best way to deal with all these puns is to filtrum out.
From Bart Cop Entertainment:
"Backstage at Live8, Ricky Gervais was at the side of the stage. Paris Hilton walked up to him and said how much she liked his stuff.
Ricky: "Have we met before?"
Paris "Yes. I'm Paris Hilton"
Ricky "Oh, sorry Paris, I didn't recognise you without a c*ck in your mouth."
Exit Paris in a huff."
OK - this is weird. Gravatar tells me that my new gravatar has been rated and is available - yet they show the rating for my old gravatar.
Are they related to haloscan by any chance?

Jes' testing my gravatar....
Hecate, I was in Stockholm. I was through a progam from Michigan State, which doesn't exist anymore (the program, not MSU). I had intended to go elswhere, but I was having way too much fun in Stockholm. I did train across central Sweden on my way to Norway. Amazingly beautiful country, Norway, even if it rained all the time, and I had an awful cold. I must go back. I have to get above the artic circle, which I didn't get to do.
So go! It's that hideously expensive.
Transport is a breeze. I loved the transit system in Stockholm. Sweden was clean, green, friendly, but not too friendly.
Hecate, you do tarot?
I was out and about today and I noticed something: people just aren't very good-looking. Hideous.

Gravatar must rate you before they'll post your image. They won't do porn or offensive images.

And check this - no lie - I haven't seen FOX News since Nov 2002. Banned it from my home. (I had a similar streak with CNN, but I broke it to watch the DC sniper coverage.) However, I have seen FOX clips on Crooks and Liars. Does that count?
If every progressive stopped watching FOX imediately, their ratings would drop 25% overnight.

I'm not sure how long it's been for me, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot longer than that. I think I might have watched a little bit, but I think it was almost definitely before 9/11, and probably before the 2000 election.

While Christiane Amanpour is discussing the London terror attacks [on CNN] a man passing by breaks in and speaks truth to the camera. The man screams "tell the truth about what happened" and then screams "They're in Iraq, that’s why it happened. There were 50 killed in Iraq".

The sabretoothvision is perfectly normal, except that people show up as colored outlines, presumably to suggest sabretooth infrared vision or something.
Except it doesn't look like infrared pictures, which are kind of concentric - it's just kinda... random colors in linear, diagonal stripes.

I read the Tarot and will gladly do so for any Atriot. I use the Robin Wood Tarot deck, which is really just a variation on the standard Rider Waite.
Hecate:
Have you looked at the Crowley Thoth deck?
Rich in symbols, allowing for a variety of observations...
I haven't practiced for many a year, as most want simple fortunes told--as opposed to an exploration of self.
When I say, "Such is your reading, take it as you will," they nearly always take it the wrong way.
I decided not to compound another's lack of introspection with their mistaken notions of a "future foretold."

I am in the process of reading through these at the moment.

1) Eli, I'd love a creepy Jesus
For serious?
well, yeah, I think so. I happen to really love all the weirdness that surrounds religions, the martyred saints walking around with eyes gouged out, carrying their severed breasts on plates...I am fascinated by Catholicism that developed through the screens of native religions...New Mexico, for example, has not only exquisite "mixed" cuisine", but manifests the same strange beauty in its expression of the Catholic religion. Garcia-Lorca in Spain...and there are many, many othyer examples, of course. I don't make fun of it, I just...what? admire the translations and the admixtures of the this-es and thats. So, yes, please.
I have a wonderful postcard that I picked up from one of the churches I visited in NM that shows Jesus on the cross dressed in a...yes...prom dress.
I guess I should have put the sarcasm tags around my statement above the quote about Bush.
The moron who thinks Bush has charisma is Marie Jon'.

I am very much not interested in possessions, but I have to say that one loss that really stung was my Salvador Dali tarot deck...

Uncle Smokes,
My friend Eve, the goth nurse, reads with Crowley. To me, it makes no sense. I've had people do readings for me with it, but it makes no sense. I have to admit that Robin Wood, the deck I read with, is considered one of the "simplest" decks to read. But I also collect decks, and have everything from some new agey kinds of things to a hand painted Tarot of the Crone.
What I think about tarot is that all answers already exist and we all know the answers on some level. Any set of symbols can be used to bring that knowledge to awareness --- a set of tarot cards or the patters in a set of thrown knuckle bones. But you can only read for the situation as it exists at the moment. When things change, then the future changes, as well.
Someday, I'm going to buy a Toth and learn to at least interpret it.

As my sources say, there was a drink called "Purple Jesus" or "Screaming Purple Jesus" that was quite popular in the 70's, it had 151 and grape juice.
Imagine cleaning that up...
I'm usually skeptical about such things, but there's so much richness of symbolism in the tarot. And I do believe there's wisdom in the sub/un/preconscious, and I've been at tarot readings that made my hair stand on end.
Did it affect your game? I'm not sure I could play after seeing that.*
Well, we didn't really play an actual game that day, just kind of an every-man-for-himself batting practice simulated game thing. But I didn't do so great.
Um, I just heard the following exchange on the sabretooth movie:
"That's a lot of pussy."
"Looks like your worst nightmare."
Holy shit. The sabretooths are BULIMIC.

Hecate:
Yes, the Crowley deck is bewildering.
For me, that was the interest, leading towards an exploration of Joseph Campbell, and through him to Jung.
Essential ideas, shared through eons of cognitive development, and each person yielding a different inflection...you just might have caused me to blow the dust of cards and start again!
[Well...blow the dust off the ornamental box that holds the cards...gotta show them respect!]
By the way...in the past, when people wanted advice--the kind of advice they knew themselves, but needed coaxing into consciousness--I often turned to the I Ching.
As a computer programmer, the system intrigues me, and there is always good advice to be had.

On a beautiful, but slightly bizarre, night we sat and listened to the music. A friend of my father's - my father has been dead for ten years or so - came up to me and reintroduced himself. (I thought I was pushing the age limit of heavy metal) In the course of our conversation he asked me if I had watched the news. I said yes. He said what about evacuating the city of Birmingham in the UK? I replied that I never saw a whisper of it. Then he explained that downtown Muskegon might be the site of the next terrorist attack. I did not say anything.
Why are people so scared? What rational being is afraid every day?
(Bet he voted for the Bush boy too)

you know, I'm at the point where I thi nk those in power will do absolutely anything the feel they need to do to stay in control. I think they will kill innocent people. I could make a laundry list of what I think they would do, but, being a human being, I suppose the previous sentence sums it all up. I mean, never fucking mind manatees or ozone layers or old growth forests, right?
I just keep hoping the tide will turn.

Battle of the Bulge
My father fought in that as an infantry sgt. Just before it kicked off, he went out on a night recon patrol and they heard the noise of something going on - tank motors running periodically since it was as cold as Judith Miller's tit, mortar plates going down, the sound track to something big brewing. When he got back to his CP, they reported it to the XO, who said he would run it up the chain, almost like he was peeved that something might disturb the Christmas lull. The next morning the famous all hell broke loose. He was lucky to get through it alive, with some shrapnel in his hand and trenchfoot.
Today, he can't stand to hear President AWOL even mentioned, and will start going off on Flubdubya and Raygun and, particularly, Ollie 'Col. Insubordination' North.
I watch the movie every now and then, and it gets heavier each time Col. Hessler tells his corporal that they cannot win the war, but they can keep it going for a long time. Fucking White House chickenhawks.

at the risk of boring everyone here, let's just say i didn't hate it. the cast got a standing O, and were a talented bunch, but if you didn't know the words to the songs already, you were fucked, since the singers were so mic-ed up and trying so hard that the sound got distorted.
rock is rock. broadway show tunes are broadway show tunes. and never the twain shall meet. I had real problems with the orchestrations of most of the songs. And it made me painfully aware of how god-awful most of today's show tunes are (as opposed the era ending with Sondheim), when they're placed side by side with Lennon's music.

Where do the batteries go?
How would one disable the gravatars when using Internet Explorer? I've gotten sick of the various ways they screw up the page download (but *don't* take that as criticism, they are quite revealing in their way).

One way is to not use IE. I use Opera which has an option to turn off images.

I don't know how anybody stands to do this all the time without a good (read, non-IE) browser.
I'm stuck with a choice of an old Netscape, a bastardized version of Mozilla, and IE5 at work, because Mac9 won't support any remotely state-of-the-art browsers. Weeding through all the ads on pages and pop-ups is completely maddening at the office. At home I don't have to deal with it. Haven't even seen a pop-up at home in ages.
That gravatar is an amalgam of Dr. Michio Kaku, Corey Feldman, and Evil Spock. Do I win?

Only problem with Firefox is that it doesn't remember your place on the thread when you refresh, which is pretty annoying unless you stay really current.

Do they still exist? We are about to be forced to all Microsoft junk at work. I don't know how I am going to tolerate it.
Yeah. Firefox does have a few problems. I've discovered it mysteriously removes all Paypal buttons from various sites. (Coulda been something I tweaked.) And there's a big problem here with it bouncing me directly from here to that Eschaton Classifieds page, but I've learned to cope without disabling javascript. Still, nothing bad enough to make me return to IE.
___ league, if you're allowed to install your own software at work, there are a ton a free pop-up blockers that will work fairly well with Microsoft stuff. I used Panicware's free blocker; worked pretty well. Can't find one that'll work with Mac9 at work, though.
Uncle Smokes (if you're still here) thanks, but it didn't work. I'll keep putzing when in the mood, I guess. I don't really care a lot about the tech end of the internets--IE works well enough for my purposes, & the internet provider has a really good popup blocker so they aren't a problem.

Until now we have been able to install anything we want. However, they are going to a regime in which everything other than the standard stuff has to be 'approved' to make sure that it will not hurt the network. I am pretty sure that the answer will always be NO to adding anything.
I think that I may have to spend some time searching for a way around this restriction.
ah, wait, it *did* work- on the gravatars of people who came to Eschaton *after* I followed Uncle Smokes' advice... the others must be saved... interesting..
I blame dialup more than the gravatars- cruddy connection speed again tonight.
nick carraway:
I forgot to mention that you should clear your cache.
Look under Tools->Internet Options
and the Temporary Internet Files section.
Even if you turned off "show pictures," this web page and the images have been stored locally--seems IE is going to try to show some of those.
If that doesn't work...well, the others have offered the obvious advice.
I stay with IE, because my programming job depends on Microsoft technology, and I'd rather not clutter my head with other (and reportedly better) software.
Good luck!
And good night again!

Not just reportedly. Just plain better. As far as I can tell, Microsoft always has inferior software.

Sometimes I have to hit Stop BEFORE it appears. It's gotten to be like playing a videogame. Just hitting "Back" doesn't work here -- but when it happens at work, in Mozilla or Netscape, I can use Back to get here.

Please Boycott Archway Cookies!
Ellison Bakery sells cookies under the brand-name 'Archway'.
(AgapePress) - An Indiana bakery has pulled a large ad campaign from a trade magazine in response to the publication's decision to run a pro-homosexual editorial.
For years Ellison Bakery has advertised extensively in Dairy Field magazine, a trade publication for the dairy industry. Recently, however, Dairy Field ran an editorial critical of conservative pro-family groups such as the American Family Association for censuring Kraft Foods for its pro-homosexual policies. AFA has particularly targeted Kraft lately because of the food company's sponsorship of the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago.
Upon seeing the editorial criticizing the pro-family group, Ellison Bakery general manager Todd Wallin quickly pulled the company's $20,000 advertising account from the magazine. "This is not a personal attack against people who have chosen this type of lifestyle," he hastens to explain, adding that homosexuals, like all people "are created in the image of God." Nevertheless, the executive adds, "I don't support things that would promote people making those bad choices."
"I don't want my company to be seen that way, and certainly personally do not want to do things that would promote people making that type of choice," Wallin says.
This is funny and true...the latest technology

We implement vote by mail throughout the United States of America. This will prevent Republicans from vote suppression by skin color which happened electronicly and in person in the 2000 and 2004 elections. Demand that your state implement vote by mail with ballots easy to fill out and difficult to change or invalidate by Republican Party officials.
Civil servants on the state payroll should keep track of voter registrations and vote counting of mail in votes in each precinct and not companies such as Choicepoint. We need to take the Republican Party out of the business of keeping track of voter registration and counting votes.
States ban the secretary of state from engaging in politics especially acting as a campaign official for a presidential campaign.

We the undersigned demand that the Congress of the United states and the president of the United States enact a law to increase the minimum wage to TEN dollars an hour and also to extend unemployment benefits for all people whose unemployment benefits expired after 6 months even though they still seek work.
We also demand that the Congress of the United States to not privatize social security benefits in any form including taking a percentage of the social security tax and placing it in private accounts. People can already create their own pensions with money after taxes in the private sector.
We also demand that the congress make all of a person's earned income taxable for social security FICA tax purposes and remove the 88,000 dollar salary cap. This will make social security solvent for many years to come.
We pledge to boycott Walmart and call them at 800-966-6546 and demand they help in getting the above legislation enacted or we will never buy from Walmart again.
We make no statement of quality of Walmart products but we maintain the right of free speech and association and of boycotting for the purpose of persuading congress to enact this part of a progressive agenda. After all the money belongs to us and we can legally set conditions for our purchases of products and doing business with any company in the United States.
We the undersigned also demand congress and the president enact a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part B which covers 80 percent of medication cost, with no extra premium, no extra deductibles, no means test and no coverage gaps or else we will not purchase products from the CVS, Eckerd, and Walgreens pharmacy chains. We make no statement of the quality of products sold by these pharmacy chains.
We pledge to Call Eckerd Pharmacy Corporate Headquarters at 800 325 3737, Call CVS Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 888 607 4287 and Call Walgreens Pharmacy Corporate headquarters at 800 289 2273 and tell them we will not purchase any products from their drug stores but will patronize them in the future if they can get the congress to pass a prescription drug benefit as described above. If a person cannot stop buying medications from the three drug store chains, I consider it acceptible to buy your medication from one of the chains but still refrain from buying other products from their drug stores.
We also call for the complete repeal of the faulty Medicare law HR 1 / S 1 passed by congress in Nov 2003.
Please tell your friends, family and coworkers to sign this petition.
We do this in the spirit of peaceful resistance to a congress that refuses to enact this legislation

How to destroy the agenda of Arnold Schwarzenegger
and advance a progessive agenda in California.
http://www.boycott-republicans.com
The following people and companies gave at least 21,000 dollars to Arnold's
campaign and recall effort in 2003. I have named some of the more consumer oriented companies meaning they sell a product to the public that people can easily boycott and buy elsewhere. I suggest people begin by gathering your legislative goals and call these companies and tell them that they helped Arnold steal the California governorship so unless they get Arnold and the legislature to pass your desired legislation you and other people will call them and tell them you will boycott them.
and now the companies that helped install Arnold.

I have a suggestion on how to force congress to increase funding for PBS and NPR.
The Secretary of Commerce in the Bush administration used to work as CEO of Kelloggs Cereals. Children who watch PBS educational programming tend to eat cereals
How about if people called, emailed and faxed Kelloggs telling them unless they get the congress and the Bush administration to INCREASE funding for PBS and NPR, we will no longer buy Kelloggs cereals.
It appears Conservatives and Republicans mainly understand money and if they stand to lose our business they might get forced to do what we want.
So people, shall we boycott Kelloggs cereals and call, email, and fax them demanding increase in funding for PBS and NPR and to tell as many people on and off the itnernet?
What do you say? The Republicans will not stop their fascism until we the people hit their contributors and friends in the wallet.
